Combatants in the US Civil War:
United States of America (Union)
Commanders: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant
Strength: 2,200,000
Confederate States of America (Confederacy)
Commanders: Jefferson Davis, Robert Edward Lee
Strength: 1,064,000
Despite this disparity in troop strength, armies of comparable size met on several battlefields. Much of the Union Army was scattered from the West to the Atlantic coast in defensive positions. Much more of the Confederate strength was in the large mobile fighting forces.
IMPROVED ANSWER:
About 620,000 soldiers died during the American Civil War. The Union lost about 360,000 troops, and the Confederacy lost about 260,000. More than half of the deaths were caused by disease. About a third of all Southern soldiers died in the war, compared with about a sixth of all Northern soldiers.
Nobody can say exactly. What numbers are available are the total of enlistments for the north. But some men enlisted for two years, some for three, at the start of the war. When that term was up, many reenlisted to see the thing through. Others enlisted in the Union Army over and over again, to collect the money bounty paid to volunteers. Once they were paid, they deserted, and went somewhere else and repeated the process. These were called "bounty jumpers".
The best estimate is that about 2.1 million men served in the Union Armies.
Records were poorly kept in the south, and were often destroyed or lost where they were kept. Estimates range from a low of 600,000 to a high of 1.1 million in the Rebel Armies, with most agreeing that around 900,000 men probably served the Confederacy.
about 260,000 confederates died and 350,000 Unions died total about 618,000 to 700,000 soldiers died
During the course of the US Civil War, the Union, at one time or another had over one million soldiers in the US Civil War.
